OK here's an update. Today his normal color seems to be back; the redness has toned down. He wanted to go outside against but I didn't want him getting sun again today. However, I just saw where he went; he's napping on the table in the sunroom right underneath the skylight. Henry is the one stretched out in the middle. Now I don't know if I should pick him up and put him somewhere shady.

Happy to hear the redness went away. He sure is a sunlover. If the sun is coming through a window it can do no harm/no sunburn

@Yoda mom I think he's OK......there's just one weird thing. I gave him a bath. I thought he had dirt rings around the neck, but they wouldn't come off. I'm thinking maybe it's tan lines????? Is that possible?

That's definitly possible. My boy Toa has tine lines after being in the sun too/he gets a tan. Ross never gets a tan.

My poor baby's skin on his back is peeling :(

I'm sorry to tell him that he can't go outside anymore but it's too hot outside if you're a human. It's already so hot you go outside for a few minutes and start sweating.

My little man also loves the sun I am planning on getting Him outside this summer. What is a safe and effective sunblock for our babies. He will be in a carrier with a light weight shirt on I am hoping to find UV protector material to make him a little top. But I am still worried it will not be enough. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated or photos please.
